And the shutting down of some Mode S sites has to do with replacement by
the new ASR-11 radar. It's a digital monopulse radar from Raytheon, but
not equipped with Mode S. These radars are required for the new STARS
automation (controller display) system going into some TRACONs.

one correction: STARS does not require an ASR-11.

As confirmed by the approach facility at Syracuse, NY, a class C airport
that was one of the first STARs installations that also has a fully
operating TIS.
